The Ideal Became Real: A RIOT of TRUTH on the Progress Diner Radio Show -- Drunks Delight #2

Everything promised was delivered. 
That's a promise made most of a lifetime ago by Bob Dylan, but it came true on EnlightenRadio.org Nov 29 when the Dinner Out Crew gathered for the Progress Diner Radio Show. The headlined menu of Drunks Delight, South of the Border Style, helped us recover from the tear gassing.
The show airs regularly Thursdays 6:30 PM on Enlighten Radio.  There is a player at the top of the page. Also this Stream Link works.
contact host@enlightenradio.org for more info.
The show is broken up in to four segments below, so you can pick and choose your fave segment, or, listen to the whole raw program, or, add 3 hrs of Eddie and the Cruisers favorite music....

The No Name Yet Program Becomes the Citizen Progress Diner Program

First show from the Diner:
 
Drunks Delight:  Its a very snowy and icy night, but JB and Mike make it by phone. I gotta consume my Delight of American Chop Suey all by myself. Nonetheless: a Menu of Talk follows
 
1. Mike and John spend 15 minutes working out the menu before landing on a Sex Recession Cocktail Its true, there's serious research out suggesting a decline in fertility by generation in the US. Mike and John give evidence, as it were.
 
2. Mike and John discuss whether we should memorize President Macron of France's 'nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism' speech to Trump, and the world.
 
3. An important commentary from Dani Rodriks Global Policy Journal asks if classical liberalism is at odds with justice in confronting aggravated inequality in modern US society. We ask ourselves that question.
 
4. JB calls from the annual Alliance For Retired Americans (ARA) in Ripley, WV with reports on top issues of concern to WV retirees.

The Steak and Mushroom Show Podcast, and a New Name for the No Name

This podcast of the NAME IN PROGRESS show was broadcast live on Enlighten Radio  from the Red Caboose studio in Bolivar, WV on Nov 8, 2018, two days after the Midterm elections. 
We are  trying out THE CITIZEN DINER as a name for the program 
For information about the show, or interest in Internet Radio Programming, email John at host@enlightenradio.org
John Case, JB Christensen, and Larry Bish deliver a menu headlined by a black bean and steak hash of the Mid term elections.
At least that was the intent. But a pot-luck atmosphere arose as "Out to Dinner" crew consul Mike Diesel and our sponsor, the Zen Hounddog, called in to heap magical mushrooms on the Dinner Out Crew's plates, as you will hear. 
the Intro gives the  story behind the profound and moving letter JBs friend and fellow retired merchant seaman wrote to him on Trump and the mid-term elections.
At 3 minutes, the letter begins. And what a letter! A little like your shoulder has been grabbed by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's ANCIENT MARINER and you're forced to hear the tale of a murdered albatross -- and the vast curse that has ensued.
At 15 minutes, Larry Bish joins the meal and, sensing we began without a prayer, prepares a Meditation rice designed to clear up the crew's muddy thinking. 
At 30 minutes, Mike Diesel calls in and the food fight begins, as the crew is forced to beat back Thumper himself, and Rush Limbaugh from ruining everyone's sense of humor. There follows serious election discussion by our most experienced analysts  -- and hour's worth!
at 1 hour 45 minutes, the "F*** Ted Nugent" segment begins, recommended for adult audiences.
the program closes with an unknown version of Russian Lullaby
